Talia's Final Push will encourage you that your opportunity will come, you just have to keep pushing!“It terrified me that maybe I had worked so hard for something that just never was going to work for me.”
“For some reason life always wants to give me exactly what I need and what I want when I’m at my breaking point.
“When you really don’t care about something, for some reason the universe is just like, “Here you go, you can have it.”
“Singing had always been the little side character in my life.”
“Do it for you. It’s your life and the only person who is ever truly going to care about you and take care of you forever is you. So do what makes you happy.”
